The following were submitted in “Guest Books” that had been onprevious memorial pages for Todd. There have been countless timeswhen reading these entries I have been reminded of God’s incredibleblessing and gift Todd was to so many.

Gene and Judy Armento Tuesday, 6/14/05, 1:33 AM

We are friends of Paul and Dotti Burry from Venture Out. Praying down through the
years for Winter Hope and later Todd as he was diagnosed with cancer. He fought the
good fight and has gone on to his reward. Praise God for abiding faith and the hope
we have in Christ Jesus for eternity together. Our prayers continue for the entire
family that God's provision shall be manifest" "I've never seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread..." May true religion and undefiled be manifest within
this family that the widow and fatherless children be visited... They are not fatherless,
as they have a heavenly Father who cares for them, sees their every need and holds
each one in the palm of His hand. May Faith, Hope and Love continue to be manifest
in the lives of each one of you daily with the greatest of these, His Love abiding
with you every moment of every day. In the Love of Christ Jesus, our Blessed Lord
and Savior, Gene and Judy Armento

Wendy Santan, niece Thursday, 5/12/05, 7:29 PM

There are SO many things that I could say about Uncle Todd. He was such a Godly
example to me, especially when it came to how a husband and a father should be treating
their wife and family. I could see Christ through him, and your whole family (still
do!). I remember how he loved music, how he was so kind and loving, how he loved
cars, how he checked out my new car when I bought it last year to make sure it was
"drivable". and how he always drove our family to the airport when we needed a ride.
There are so many things that he did for us! there are so many other things, I could
go on and on, but the thing that I think touched me most was how selfless he was.
He ALWAYS thought of everyone else first and considered himself last. That is the
thing that I loved about him the most. He was such a wonderful man, and a wonderful
uncle to me and my brothers, always giving to everyone without a second thought!
We all loved and appreciated him so much. We all miss him terribly, I am crying writing
this. But I thank God everyday that we will be able to be with Todd again one day,
and everyone loved one have gone on before us, and I look forward to that day! I
am so thankful that I was able to be there to help give Todd his medicine and help
take care of him during his last days, and help you get through this awful time.
and I will continue to be there for you guys ALWAYS. I love you and the kids so much.
and I just want you to know that I will ALWAYS be here for you. ThankYOU, Wendy,
for YOUR testimony and for your family and especially for being a wonderful aunt
and friend!

What influence, if any, has Todd had in your life he was a Godly example, he always
made me smile!

Barb DiSabato Thursday, 5/12/05, 8:09 AM

Just wanted to praise the Lord for one of the most God-honoring and beautiful funeral
service I have ever attended. Todd's testimony screamed out, but God truly got the
glory, because Todd lived for Him. What a precious family you are. God will continue
to take care of you--He has promised that. I don't know how I could ever be a help
to you, but I'm here for you. Praise God for the testimony you have in this tragic
time of loss. How merciful is God to take His children home so they don't suffer
more than they have to already. That would be even harder on the family. I love you,
sweetie. I'm praying for you all. "Be still and know that I am God." Paul and Dotti,
I'm praying for you folks also. Thank God for such a supportive family. You are a
dear. Anytime you would like another daughter, you got one!! God bless you both and
keep you well. Love you all, Barb DiSabato

What influence, if any, has Todd had in your life I realize more and more the importance
of a consistent walk with the Lord.

Candy Ortiz (niece) Thursday, 5/12/05, 12:00 AM

Todd was a blessing to all he came in contact with. He always remembered the principles
Jesus taught in Matthew 22:37-39 (Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is
the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.") Todd was always a loving and giving person, always seeming
to make sacrifices for others. He was kind, loving and cheerful in spirit and I will
miss him. It was a blessing to have him as my uncle.

What influence, if any, has Todd had in your life He was always cheerful of heart
and thought of others before himself.

Stephanie and Michael Jr. Tuesday, 5/10/05, 6:51 PM

Dear Wendy and children, How blessed we are as a family to have known both you and
Todd and the children? I knew whenever we would meet during church there would be
laughter. We enjoyed teaching in Jr. church with you and having you teach our children
in Jr. church. Since December Michael Jr. has become such a prayer warrior for Todd.
Daily your family was the conversation around our table and daily "Hows Todd" was
up on my screen as we looked for an update. It was a blessing for Michael Jr. and
I to come and visit last Tuesday before Todd went to be with our Lord and Savior.
The testimony that was shared was a blessing to both Michael Jr. and I. Even in the
Valley of the Shadow of death, there was rejoicing in the Lord for his answered prayers
in your lives. Always remember as in the words of your father's favorite hymn, "God
is still on the throne and He will always remember His own." May the Lord hold you
and the children close as you go through your time of sorrow. We love you and will
continue to pray for you. I Peter 5 :6-11

Cheryl Tuesday, 5/10/05, 7:53 AM

Six years ago Wendy and I met online on the Internet ... Wendy had a question about
Winter's reflux and aspiration. I happened to be online and my son is the same age
as Winter Hope and I was able to help her with an answer. It was a very bitter, cold
Winter night as we chatted back and forth. Something struck me that very night six
years ago .. we met not by chance but through destiny. And this destiny guided our
growing friendship through the years .... we heard of the struggles and triumphs
within our families .. our children and how they grew so fast .. our devotion as
parents and most of all how Todd was a hard-working family man with old- fashioned
family values and ethics. Our friendship, as in marriage, has endured through the
good and the bad. My four children and Todd & Wendy's 6 children will grow and prosper
by the courage and strength that Todd and Wendy have shown us not only now but every
Winter night when it is cold and Hope is shallow. As the seasons change, so will
our friendship and its value to those around us. We will endure the hard times and
move ahead to prosper with what we have learned from those who have suffered. So
silent that night this past Winter when Todd took ill in December. A Winter cold
day or night such as when Wendy and I met. May these cold days bring warmth to the
future and may we blossom as people pulling from the strength/courage of those around
us who have suffered. Just as Winter has shown us hope enduring her reflux battles
and Toby, too, Todd will bring us strength to move forward and never let anything
get in the way .. nothing is too powerful to overcome. Our destiny will bring us
together one way or another and in the process, we will remember those whom we miss
the most. Cheryl (ChitChat9)

Ed Francis Tuesday, 5/10/05, 6:41 AM

Todd's passing has sobered and softened my heart and I am sure that this is true
for most of those that knew him. This morning I read the account in Acts (20:18;
36-38) where the Apostle Paul said his "final" good by to his dear freinds at Ephesus.
He called on them to remeber the way in which he lived. Todd has reminded me of the
joy, importance and value of family - truly these are the important "things".

Steve Moore Tuesday, 5/10/05, 6:26 AM

Sometimes things happen which are beyond our understanding. Loosing Todd is one
of those events in our lives. We forget sometimes that we live in a world groaning
under the sinful nature of man. The closer we get to the second coming of Christ
the more Creation groans under the weight of our sin. Because of the general sin
condition of man we are subject to events that God did not intend for us when we
were first created. Did Todd's going to be with Him catch God by surprise? Absolutely
not! It did us!... but not Him. It is our job to trust in God. He will bring good
out of this. I don't know how, what, when or where but He will. Why is not a question
to be asked by the faint in heart. Asking why is usually a sign of anger and questioning
God of His ways. Releasing our anger and questioning our big God can produce a deep
trust and peace. Get angry at God... yell at Him... cry out to Him... question Him
... all with the purpose of following, knowing and trusting Him.. to gain understanding
and peace. God has big shoulders. Seek Him with passion to answer the question why...
you will not be disappointed. Don't stop seeking and crying out to Him with "why"
until you have that peace that passes all understanding. No doubt we will miss Todd.
Thankfully we will see him again. Now it is our job to stand with and watch over
those who are left behind until that day we all join Todd and our Lord. We love you
Wendy, Abe, Nathan, Trina, Tiffany, Winter, and Toby. With much love in Christ, Steve,
Maggie, Sandy & Toby.

What influence, if any, has Todd had in your life His steadfastness in Christ throught
tials and tribulations.

Michelle Ryan Tuesday, 5/10/05, 5:24 AM

Dear Wendy, I did not know Todd for very long, but I could see the love for Christ
in his life. Watching him with you and the kids, I could also see how much he loved
all of you. His sense of humor and smile were so bright and made me feel comfortable
from the moment I met him. I recall the bonfire at church when you worked so hard
to write out the words to songs and then it was too dark for him to read them. He
made due and it was a nice time of songs and fellowship. Based on the short time
I knew him, I would offer this -- Todd's testimony for Christ was his love. God used
him to reach people through his easy manner and his wonderful family. I will miss
getting to know him. My deepest sympathies are with you all as you are grieving the
loss of a very kind man. Love and many, many prayers, Michelle "Cause me to hear
thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way
wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee." Psalm 143

Whenever I think of Todd, I smile. He kidded with me a lot and always made me laugh.
That was a good thing. There are people you want to avoid, but Todd drew you to him.
Praise the Lord, he is now without any pain and probably smiling from ear to ear.

Joy Santan-Todd's sister Monday, 5/9/05, 5:54 PM

Hi Wendy, Dear Wendy, Todd had a news paper route that didn't allow him to go to
church very often and I used to pray that he would be convicted to attend more regularly.
Little did I know that not only did the Lord convict him to attend, but the Lord
was working thing out so when he did come it was to a young adult meeting that Leo
D was hosting. That's where they went around the room and asked everyone to tell
when and how they got saved. Todd told me afterwards that he didn't know what to
say so he just said he was always saved. I knew then that he needed the Lord so I
told him that no one is always saved and there has to be a time that he asks Jesus
to save him and that he trusts in the Lord for forgiveness of him sins. He wasn't
ready to do that then, so I asked him to come to church that Sunday Morning. Well,
not only was the Lord working on him, but Satan was too, because he came down with
a terrible cold and wasn't going to come, but through prayer (the Lord convicted
me to pray for him all night) the Lord over came Satan's attempt to keep him home
and he came and went forward after the service and got saved. He was so glad he came
even though he felt miserable. Todd was always the nicest person--he could talk to
anyone about anything. When Derek and Brandon were little he always did things with
them and took them places. He was the best uncle! He loved kids (as you probably
know). Then when my Wendy was born he was so nice to her, too. He always thought
of others first. Even when he found out he was dying he was careful to ask me how
I was before he told me and then was sorry he had to upset me. He loved singing and
listening to hymns. He was so sorry he couldn't sing at my Wendy's wedding. We'll
miss him so much!!! Most of all I remember that he loved and appreciated YOU and
your children SO much. He never said a bad word about you. He appreciated everything
you did and always said you were the best wife and mother. I'm so glad he married
you! I know it's so hard and we miss him terribly, too, but (and I'm sure you know
this) the Lord promises to be a Father to the fatherless and He promises to be there
always for you. Please know that we are praying for you constantly! Much, Much Love,
Joy

Pam Francis Monday, 5/9/05, 5:48 PM

As I think of Todd¿s life, I¿m challenged. He is a great example to believers and
others in so many ways. I love the fact that he so obviously loved his family deeply.
I remember him dragging himself to Patch Performances with toothpicks to keep his
eyelids open (not really, of course!) to see his kids. He had a ¿respectable¿ reason
not to be there and still he was. I appreciate his willingness to do whatever in
service. I remember him dressing up like a soldier with Abe and pretending to be
David¿s soldier for VBS. He was so ¿real¿ that a couple of kids were actually scared.
Ed and I will always remember the generosity your family showed us when we were new
to ministry and driving us to the tree farm to get a Christmas tree. I remember Todd
always assuming positive about people even when they really had ¿goofed¿. While I
can¿t relate to losing a husband as you have, I am happy for you that while God blessed
your family with his presence, it was such a good thing. I¿m sorry that it ended
so soon, but am grateful that he knew and exemplified the truly important things
in life.

Steve Moore Wednesday, 12/6/06, 8:29 AM

It's been 1 year & 7 months since you (Todd) went home to be with our Father. It
goes without saying but I will say it anyway, we miss you. Our pain is a little less
but we still miss you and we will until we, ourselves, are with our heavenly Father.
Then there, being all united, will be no more morning or sorrow and all our tears
will be wiped away. In case you forgot we celebrate our Saviour's birth around this
time of year. This is the second celebration you've missed. As the years role on
this time of year becomes more special to us. Family and friends mean more to us
then the gift giving. Seeing a little one with wide open eyes on Christmas morning
is so so special but you, Todd, get to see and be with our Saviour. We long for that
day. We ache for that day but while we are here we will do our best to seek our Lord
and celebrate His birth. For He is so good and worthy of our praise. With much love,
Steve.

Gary Moore Thursday, 5/26/05, 5:13 AM

As a cousin to Wendy, we were blessed with our respective families sharing moments
from time to time as the years have passed. Todd always struck me as one who most
solidly loved the Lord and did what he could to follow the path of righteousness,
as of course has Wendy, with the result being their wonderful family that God created.
He always seemed to be happy, with a good attitude towards life in general no matter
what. No matter what. That sort of sums it all up doesn't it? It is the times of
testing that God calls us to be strong and faithful. I believe from what I have personally
witnessed and heard from others, Todd will be able to stand in front of our Lord
God and have affirmed that he indeed was faithful to the end. That we could all say
that would be a powerful statement to our individual and collective christianity.
I believe that this situation will not only be a testimony of what has occurred,
but the next several years will show the power of the Lord and how His community
stands together with those who have suffered hardship.

Dear Wendy, My mother just told me today about Todd going home to be with the Lord.
Had I known sooner, I would have attended Todd's service. Even though we've not seen
each other much since high school, I've heard about you and your sweet family through
my sister. What a testimony you've had through the years! My heart breaks for you
right now, Wendy, and there is no way to even fathom what you are going through.
How comforting it is to know that our God will not desert us and that He has promised
to give us the grace we need! I pray that you will be able to rest in Him in the
coming days, and please know that you will remain in my prayers. Love, Carolyn

so be encouraged that the Lord is in control and try to ride this with grace! I will
pray for you and your kids tonight ! God Bless

I do a newsletter at Grace Bible Fellowship church of Wallinford, PA. I never had
the pleasure of meeting your husband but since the beginning of Todd's illness I
listed Todd and your family for prayer and received updates from my neice, Wendy
Harron, who informed me weekly of your prayer concerns. I am sadened to hear of your
great loss and pray that you will sense the Lords strength and comfort during this
difficult time. God Bless Bud & Eileen

Loretta Williams Wednesday, 5/11/05, 8:27 PM

"His understanding is unsearchable," has much more meaning to me now. But also I
am wiser about what true faith is, as demonstrated by Todd and Wendy. It took me
some time to figure out that Todd's death is not meant as a punishment for those
of us still here... a trial instead. As heart-wrenching as it is, God means to use
Todd's life and death to draw us closer to Him and each other. Well, I honestly want
and need my Lord God closer to me -- now more than ever. With a grateful, tender,
and sad heart I thank Him for this opportunity. Wendy, your and Todd's friendship
has been such a blessing to Mike and I, and we love you and the kids very very much,
and always will. We will miss Todd.

Roy & Beth Fisher and Family Wednesday, 5/11/05, 5:12 PM

Dear Wendy, Abe, Nathan, Trina, Tiffany, Winter, and Toby, We cannot even begin
to express the sadness that fills our heart for all of you. Yet, at the same time,
we feel great joy knowing that Todd is no longer in pain and is with his Lord and
Savior. We were on our way to Greenville, SC to pick Leigh Anne up from BJU on Friday
morning. While I (Beth) was driving and the rest of the family was sleeping, I heard
the following song, which brought many tears to my eyes and quiet sobs to my throat.
I thought immediately of Todd and your family. At the time, Todd was still here on
earth, but the Lord knew he would be coming home to be with Him later in the day.
Safely Home.... Children, precious children, I know you're shaken, a loved one taken.
Oh, but hear Me, come draw near Me. Their pain is past now. They rest at last now...safely
home. They are strong and free. They are safe with Me. This life is merely shadow.
Today there's sorrow, but joy tomorrow...safely home. They are strong and free. They
are safe with Me. One day, you will join them. Altogether, this time forever...safely
home. We will continue to hold you up in prayer and are always here for all of you.
Love in Him, Roy, Beth & family

Lauren Van Wyk Wednesday, 5/11/05, 4:30 PM

To our family, the Radles were the picture of what a Christian family should be.
As we observed them week in and week out at church, we saw a family who loved each
other and thoroughly enjoyed serving the Lord together. I will always remember them
pulling into the church parking lot in their big red van; and as they piled out one
after the other, we were certain to see smiles on all seven faces. . . Todd, Wendy,
Abe, Nathan, Trina, Tiffany, and Winter. (For us¿the typical family who found Sunday
mornings a very hairy time¿that made quite an impression!) This will remain one of
my fondest memories of their family. When I think of Todd, I will remember a man
who seemed to have the ¿joy of the Lord¿ as His strength. Even in difficult circumstances,
Todd seemed to remain joyful . . . singing with gusto in church, laughing with his
children, and always smiling. After spending an evening with them for dinner, I remember
Brandon and I saying, ¿This is what we want for our family.¿ One couldn¿t help but
notice the happiness, love, and unity that filled their home. It doesn¿t seem hard
to picture Todd in heaven with his Lord; we only have to imagine his typical joyfulness
magnified a thousand-fold! I picture him there holding his little one who went on
before him, singing with enthusiasm, and smiling from ear to ear! Wendy, you and
Todd have taught us much by your example; and I know that the Lord will use you to
carry on the family legacy you both began together. Thank you for your willingness
to accept God¿s plan for your life, even with the pain and heartache. Your faith
is a testimony to the immeasurable grace of God, and so many lives have already been
touched as a result of your family¿s testimony through this extremely difficult trial.
We love you and are praying earnestly for you and your children.

Sunday School, when it was mostly just me and his children, he made the lessons fun!
I remember going over the Radle's house many times and the entire family would treat
me as part of their family! I also remember Mr. Radle leading the Sunday singing

rally together in heaven. Love in Christ Lois and Bob

Matt Woolfrey Tuesday, 5/10/05, 8:38 AM

Todd was, for a year or so, the Sunday School teacher for the adolescent boys at
Bible Baptist. I was lucky enough to have been in his class at that time. The thing
that stands out in my memory about Todd was his gentle approach to spirituality.
He was always humble in communicating the message of Christ without harshness or
force. He was a softhearted informant who would share the message by encouraging
rather than dictating. I can't remember Wendy and Todd ever once showing condescension
or judgment. That's what a true Christian is to me, someone who sticks to their beliefs
but has compassion for others whether or not they believe exactly the same. Of all
the people I encountered at West Chester Christian and Bible Baptist, their testimonies
of benevolence and steadfastness stand out like bonfires in a room full of candles.

I'm Sorry to say that I didn't get to know him very well, but his continued faith
in our Lord through all his trials was indeed a blessing to me. And his illness and
his Faith, opened opportunities for me to tell others of our Lord. When they're unsaved,
they just don't understand. Trust in His promises. God will bless you and provide
your needs.

What happened in your life Wendy, still floors me today. God is indeed a good God
to hold both you and Todd in the painful beginning of Todd's last days with us, and
God is a Great God to be holding you and your dear ones still. He will never turn
His back or walk away from you, any of you. He is the Solid Rock. He is the Safe
Place to grieve. God is the steadfast Beginning and Completion of all our deepest
hopes and dreams. In God, Todd came into your life. In God, your dear ones were born
to you. In God, you will be reunited with Todd. All that is most meaningul to you
has come your way through your relationship with God. Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed
all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. So
like you Wendy, may my heart brim with gratitude for the blessings we have already
experienced, the Steadfast Mercy we safely dwell in this day, and the future that
He weaves for us, that flows from His Everlasting Mercy and Everlasting Love. (((((((((((Wendy)))))))))))!
Love, Betty

What influence, if any, has Todd had in your life That's a fair question, but difficult
to answer..A few words come to mind: pervasive...profound....monumental......
